    Question Work.

    Just a quick question, we submitted my application for ILR visa yesterday. And I remember that my manager told me that my contract will be terminated on 22nd of February,(that is when my visa expired)

    As i understand I am still eligible to work here eventhough my visa expire in 20 days time and the visa is on process? Can anyone confirm that? And for the company ive been working on, they want me to give a proof saying i am allowed, but i dont know where can i get it?

    thanks in advance
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    THat's sounds dodgy..

    You can work and stay here legally while your application is in the Home Office.

    SHow your ILR Note to your employer (it shows there about your status) and contact the Home Office ASAP to get an advice, they might give a letter or reference for your employer to check your status.

    Yes you allowed to work, but as you say wthout your passport you can't prove you are allowed to. You could try asking the HO for advice, but you might have to wait until you get your passport back.

    Thanks Lady J, actually we phoned this afternoon to the HO just to make sure that i amstill eligible to work here, and they told me I am whilst my visa is on process, they gave me an Employer Helpline to give to the company but the company turn around and say they need a letter of confirmation from the Home Office

    And I remmeber that the HO this afternoon says that they are going to send me a letter after ten days, but im not sure if that will be enough to confirm that im still alowed to go back to work.

    It's only one phone call for your employer to call the Home Office to check your status but you must contact H.O. first about it and get a reference number then give it to your employer.

    have you explained to the H.O. about your situation? Did they explained why they don't want to give a reference number or something else? did you ask them how or where to get a further info about proving your status to your employer?

    H.O. should help you on this matter.

    Yep we explained to them properly about my situation, they gave me a Employer Helpline for me to give to my work.

    But they confirm to me that I am still allowed to work here while my visa is on process. But the company dont accept verbal agreement they want a letter from the HO. After 10 days HO told me that i will receive a letter, i think i will take it from there what will im going to do next

    I can though understand why a company might be awkward - they don't want to end up with a £10K fine.

    That makes a lot of sense then tin

    You better tell your employer then that there's a letter for them from the H.O. Hope it goes well.

    your caught in no man's land, btw a expiring visa and waiting for the results of a new visa app

    even when you get your letter from the HO, i doubt it will state you have ILR, maybe only that your visa app is being processed and your allowed to work til then, but you've already said thats not good enough for your employer

    why is your employer terminating your contract, it is because your visa is expiring ?

    and employer thinks there's no guarantee that she will get ILR.

    that's the problem, the employer will be in if she doesn't get ILR but carries on working there. bad timing for the lady.

    thou my misses was never asked about ILR when she worked for the NHS after her spouse visa expired

    in the job i started 6 months ago, i was even asked for evidence of right to work here, and the director who offered me the job i first meet near 10yrs ago

    My filipina workmate applied her ilr while working in our shop and our boss never says that. Let them phone the HO or give the letter from the HO about ur application for ilr as a proof. That is illegal just to terminate u like that.

    I will be applying mine soon sis but still im in the shop plus will be having my maternity leave soon.

    Yes its because my visa is expiring

    But one of the member of HO told me that they cant terminate my contract because of that reason.

    I dont know i think i will wait till i get the letter..

    Tin, how long have you been working in your job? Is it more than 12 months?

    Is your contract open ended or for a fixed period?

    you're right there. even when my husband got his new job with the same company they asked him the right to work here as well, the fact that he is working on the same company but in much higher position...they photocopy his passport (born and bred by a british parents)

    though i noticed that at work everytime we have a new people from agency Brits or non Brits my boss always asking if they have a passport or any proof of identity.

    That's a shame as your employer can dismiss you without any real justification, as long as there is no discrimination, and without going through any disciplinary procedures either.

    If you had been there for over 12 months you could have taken him to Employment Tribunal if he dismissed you.

    Could you go over your manager's head and hope that his boss will accept what you are saying?
